Endospores in sediments germinate and produce acetate at 80°C. Could buried endospores do this in the deep, hot subseafloor biosphere? We suggest they could Ange Sherry JayneRat Casey Hubert Now #OpenAccess at @Environmicrobi sfamjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

With thanks to Natural Environment Research Council NERC Arctic Office for funding our project and NERC Arctic Research Station for logistical support in Svalbard (also with Donato Giovannelli #CNR)

This is huge 🙌🔥a very nice study to show how dormant endospores sense their environment and make decisions about when to germinate.

Ecstatic to share our new paper on skull evolution in placental mammals, highlighted on the cover of Science Magazine! With a 3d dataset spanning the Cenozoic, we describe a new model of attenuated evolution & identify traits associated w/fast evolution science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/

Extremely honoured (and a bit intimidated) to have been selected to give the 2023 Humanists UK #DarwinDayLecture! Looking forward to synthesising decades of my thoughts and data on the tempo of life through deep time and into the future.

We made a short, cute, animated film for Scientific American about subsurface microbes and what they can do for us! This is from work with Peter Barry David Terry Fine Satoshi Studio Donato Giovannelli and others! It's dubbed in Spanish too!
